Introduction

Unfortunately, the elliptical does have a few flaws which are to be expected in the budget price range. For starters, we’re not exactly keen on only having 10 resistance options and durability issues do exist with the frame.

Regardless, NordicTrack did want to put out an elliptical that is attractive to consumers with a tight budget and they’re doing a pretty good job of offering a model that is at least competitive.

Workout Programs

All of the programs are designed by Certified Personal Trainers and intended to burn fat, lose calories as well as keep you motivated.

Along with the excellent number of pre-defined workout options, the NordicTrack E5Vi is packaged with an EKG Grip Pulse Heart Rate monitor.

Lose weight, feel great and improve performance in just eight weeks with iFit interactive workout card technology, which plugs directly into the ellipticals console. The programs automatically adjust your resistance and incline, while the voice of a personal trainer takes you through each workout.

NordicTrack E5Vi Elliptical Features

The NordicTrack E5Vi features adjustable stride length with three different options (13″, 15″ & 18″). The 13″ stride length will accommodate younger users while the 18″ stride length will be adequate for most adults. It’s a nice feature not seen on a lot of other ellipticals.

The NordicTrack E5Vi is also compatible with iPod/mp3 players though the trainer does not offer built-in speakers.

Soft touch upper body grips allow you to burn more calories and add muscle tone that provide a great total-body workout, increased cardio benefits and a comfortable grip.

The oversized pedals on the NordicTrack E5Vi are roomy and comfortable.

Stay cool and comfortable during any intense workout with a built-in CoolAire workout fan. The multi-speed fan offers a high and low setting.

Lastly, stay abreast on crucial exercise data with ClearView backlit display. The display system has a 180° viewing angle so no matter how tall or short you are, you can always keep track of your workout progress.
